What is Credit Card Insurance?

Credit card insurance serves as a form of payment protection linked to specific credit card accounts. It steps in to cover any outstanding balances on your behalf if you become unable to make payments.

Credit card insurance offers several benefits, including easing the financial strain of repaying your card issuer and safeguarding your credit rating in the event of income loss due to unforeseen circumstances:

  1. Involuntary Unemployment: If you experience job loss, credit card insurance can help cover minimum monthly payments. It’s important to note that purchases made after the job loss may not be covered.
  2. Disability: This type of insurance assists in repaying outstanding balances and protects your credit rating. Typically, payments are made for a specified period, and purchases made after the onset of disability may be excluded.
  3. Critical Illness: Some issuers may provide coverage to pay off the entire credit card balance if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness.
  4. Death: Credit card life insurance repays the debt in the event of the cardholder’s death, with the institution that issued the credit card being named as the policy beneficiary.

Why Was Credit Card Insurance Obtained?

Credit card insurance is typically acquired by individuals who frequently use their cards for purchases, resulting in a substantial balance. Additionally, many cardholders may not have sufficient savings for emergencies and may lack disability, life, critical illness, or job loss insurance. As a result, an unexpected reduction or interruption in income can occur, making it difficult for the client to meet their monthly payments.

By obtaining credit card insurance through the issuer, customers can continue to make payments toward their outstanding balance in unforeseen circumstances. Insurance coverage limits vary depending on the policy.

Should the client determine that they no longer require the insurance, they have the option to cancel the coverage, thereby terminating the associated premium.

Instances of Improperly Sold Credit Card Insurance

Sometimes, a financial institution may sell credit card insurance even though the client doesn’t need it. Some of the most common instances of mis-selling include:

  • Excessive commission for the lender – You might suspect mis-selling of credit card insurance if you examine the lender’s commission and find that they received more than 50% of the PPI. In such cases, you may be eligible for compensation.
  • Ambiguous or inadequate sales explanation – Customers may be entitled to a refund if they were not fully informed of all policy terms before making the purchase. For example, if the company fails to disclose all the exclusions applicable to your policy, you could end up paying for a product that you cannot utilize.
  • Mis-selling credit card insurance to ineligible individuals – Another instance of mis-selling occurs when companies offer their insurance to self-employed clients or customers with pre-existing conditions.
  • Acquiring insurance based on a mistaken belief – In addition to inadequate policy explanations, salespeople may also persuade customers that the insurance is mandatory. Clients may also be misled into believing that purchasing the insurance increases their chances of loan approval.
